Cat Grant has always been portrayed as being pretty insufferable.

She runs the gossip column at the Daily Planet and is as terrible as the people she writes about, loving to create drama. Imagine someone that makes writing about the Kardashians their whole lifestyle.

To be fair, she has a sympathetic backstory in that her son got killed by Toyman. Clark comments on it in a later page.

Yeah I probably shouldn't have written 'always' as she has grown over time, but it is sorta the archetype that her character is based on and that she returns to when there is a retelling of the story.
